Lake Views: Sisikon In Central Switzerland (4K)

The view to the opposite shore opens out to the glacier pyramids of the Urirotstock. Sisikon’s mild lakeside climate means that even figs and kiwis can grow here. Sisikon has several history-steeped spots: on the lake shore three kilometres south of the village is the Tell Chapel. At the place where William Tell is reputed to have saved himself by leaping from the boat of Gessler, the provincial governor.
The chapel, which is adorned with four frescoes by Basel artist Ernst Stückelberg, was built in 1879/80.
